I am on a mini monkey makin' binge! I have these two done so far. Avery is the pink one on the left, and Melanie is on the right. Melanie sold already! I have 3 more that are half done and will be ready to list soon. I think after making 5 in a row, I'll be ready to take a break from the mini's for a bit.

I think after I'm done with these I'll try my first fairy. I have the designs all layed out, I just have to make the pattern and give it a whirl. The only thing that's really hanging me up is the hair. I'm going to do yarn hair, and I think it's going to be a bit of a challenge. I've never done a doll before, so we'll see how it goes. I have a vague idea, but I don't know if it's going to work or not yet.

I also have no idea how much they're going to be. They're going to be a lot of work, with the doll, the dress, the wings, the embroidery, and the hair. I guess I'll see once I make my first one how much work they are.


I know my mini's are worth more than I list them for. They take about 3-4 hours to make, and I sell them for $20. I would make them more, but I don't know if people would buy them if I made them more expensive. My large ones are $35, and I've only sold one. I did a couple trades where I made big ones, but those don't really count. I've sold a bunch of mini's though.

I enjoy making them no matter what they sell for, and I love that they make people so happy. That's the best part. If I can make people happy with these little munchkins I'm satisfied.
